I'd like to know what the big vendors are thinking about this. Introducing risks due lazy/snooty systemd developers can not be a reason to ignore well-founded and common rules how to handle big severs.
Most of the 'lazy/snooty systemd developers' work for the biggest vendors. :)
Does this mean that IBM will enforce that /usr and other useful partitions will be only avaiable by using initramfs?
Since when does IBM ship openSUSE?
How does this matter? systemd wants to be one for all linux and this is about openSUSE wanting systemd. So in this context, we need to look at other uses of linux in general and openSUSE based distributions specifically.
And actually most of the requests what systemd should do come from these vendors and their customers. We declined more requests form them than we have implemented so far.
Defer would be OK, but declined is not that what will help to become systemd accepted as replacement on top of most big servers.
openSUSE doesn't run on big servers so what is the issue? It might be an
How do you know?
issue for SLES but that's not expected for another two years and I'm sure SUSE can solve that issue if they want to.
While this is politically correct, SUSE engineers are a huge part of openSUSE, so their concerns are pratically openSUSE concerns too.
Please keep the openSUSE and SUSE discussions separate.
You want SUSE engineers to shutup in openSUSE? You can't be serious.
No, I want to have product management in SUSE care about SLES. If they need features for corporate customers, fine, but openSUSE doesn't have to wait for that if we don't want to. and OK, I admit I was being a tad too black and white, surely SUSE concerns should be part of the discussion here... But in this case, as the discussion is complicated enough as it is, it'd be nice if SUSE could figure out what they want before pulling in two directions at once... There shuldn't be a secret, internal cabal saying we go for systemd and screw the community but we could de-clutter the discussion a bit here. If SUSE wants certain features, it either should commit to implementing them, or keep sysv maintained next to systemd or whatever...
